called upon Ben Wade shortly be-
fore he died and chatted with him
about his remarkable career. He told
me how, as boy, he walked across
the mountains from New England to
Ohio, and / understood he kept his
memory green TO the day of his death.
Shortly before he died he made re-
mark about Beecher which is rather in
teresting. The story Is told me by a
leading citizen Of Jefferson, O., where
Wade lived and died, and where his
sons still reside. IL was during one Of
Beeeher's somersets upon religious
questions, and this gentleman, Mr..
French. brought in the paper describ-
ing Beecher's new attitude and laid it
before Wade. Wade read the para
graph which was pointed out TO him,
and was then asked as TO what he
thought Of Beecher.
He raised his hand and brought IL
down upon his knee with slap as
he said: "Beecher. Hang Beecherl |
don't like Beecherl Beecher Knocked
hell out of religion, and religion with
out hell is no better than pork without
salt"
Ben Wade was noted for his en-
phatic expression. He believed in
calling spade spade, and rather
prided himself upon the title Of bluff

President at the time Lincoln was

there was talk of taking him up in

Cambridge Wins

LONDON, March 26.-The annual boat
race between the crews OF Oxford and
Cambridge universities, took place to-
day over the usual course of the Thames,
from Putney to Mortlake. and was won
hy Cambridge. The wind was fresh
and the water lumpy. When the crews
launched their boats just prior 10
the start, the weather threatened
rain The Cam bridge crew at once COX
the lead, rowing with singh -ly
more rapid stroke than Oxford. At the
end of the.first mile the Cambridge boat
was half a length ahead, the race hav-
ing been stubbornly contested all the
way. Oxford then spurted; to this the
Cambridge men responded instantly
and effectively, so that at Hammer
smith Bridge, nearly two miles from
the start, they had increased their lead
to 8 whole boat length. Here Oxford
sgeIn put q fresh burst and drew up
but managed to cut down only part of
the lead against them. At .Cheswick
Oxford had improved their rowing so
much tina the Cambridge men in their
effort to retain their lead, roWed a little
wildly and finally splashed,
but they recovered themselves
Immediately and by supreme effort
made up their loss and regained their
length of lead, which had been some
what curtailed. although their boat
rolled good deal under the Unequal
ity OF the efforts of the crew. At Barnes
Bridge, three miles and five furlongs
from the start, Cambridge was leading
by length and half. After passing the
bridge, the Oxford crew broke an oar.
tbat, Of course, secured the race for
the Cambridge men. and they won cas-
lly by three lengths. The race was a
ifne contest as far as Barnes Bridge, be
ing strongly contested every inch up to
this point. The Oxford crew pulled better
together than their opponents did, and
IL Is agreed on all hands that the dis
lance they lost was by bad steering en-
tirely.
The time of the Cambridge crew is 20
minutes 80 seconds,
The length of the course was four
miles and two furlongs.

New YORK, March 26.-Arrangements
are being perfected in this city for the
consolidation of a number of roads
south of the Lakes into a system ike
tt at of the Richmond and West Point
Terminal Company, Louisville, New
Albany and Chicago, Lake Erie and
Western aud Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton, will form a nucleus of the
system and will compete for business

nection with Chicago and Clinton.
Most of the principal stockholders in

Ives purchase OF the Baltimore and
Ohio is successfully carried out, that
RAILROAD will be used for the eastern
connection.

JACKSON, Mleh., March Pa fire
was discovered in four story build
ing inside the State Prison wall at 10
O'Clock tonight The building was

cred extra guards were placed inside

possible to estimate the damage IS yet.
Sparks from the prison FIRE caught ID
the old cattle and sheep sheds on the
fair ground, and all on the north side
OF the grounds were burned. They
we're mostly old, dilapidated structures
and the damage was slight.

sale of A. T. Stewards collection of
paintings, last night, Rosa Bonheur's
famous work, The Horse Fair" was
bought in the name of S. P. Avery,
dealer, for the round sum of $53 900,

them being that Governor Stanford, of
California, was the purchaser and au-
other that the French government had
secured the great picture. The actual
purchaser is revealed tonight in the
person of Cornelius. Vanderbilt, who
presents it, with his compliments, TO
the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where
it will be always accessible to the public.
